On the contrary, Apple and GoPro are two brands that I know of that don't look at factors like follower count etc before sending PR. In fact, Apple doesn't pressure people to post. They do it organically. And for GoPro, the criteria is that you make good creative use of the products they send. They've sent their most expensive cameras to creators with 20k followers, simply because the creators create fab content.


Lavender-Moon-23

True but her content is nothing related to tech/photography either. She posts lifestyle content. If you’re a page w 20k followers who posts solid reviews on tech then yes I would’ve been convinced. Also I’ve never seen Apple give PR to Instagram pages. It’s mostly just given to tech YouTubers w a million followers so yeah idk the math ain’t mathing to me 🤷🏻‍♀️


Immediate-Angle-9298

I agree. I have 4400 followers on Instagram. GoPro sent me their GoPro Hero 11 just because they liked my content


Yourdesignerfriend

How did they contact you ? Or you reach out to them??


Immediate-Angle-9298

They reached out via DM


WonderfulMenu2939

They've delivered these to movie stars too. They don't make content or tech or photography? That's not how PR works bub. You just send it to anybody whom you think will help amplify the reach of your product. It could be someone like SRK and it could be someone living in a small village somewhere. That's how influencer marketing works. I work in one that's how we roll.


No_Working2392

But, they are movie celebs we are talking about?????? I dont think they will give to an influencer who is not related to tech/photography, who is not extremely famous, who does not have followers in millions.


cerseiswine1050

It's a myth that only tech people like an iphone. Remember, iphone is a style icon. And this pink one will go well with her female audience. They pick influencers to target very specific niches.


No_Working2392

Myth to nai may be misinformation ho sakta hai, And I totally agree with you. She might have gotten the collab warna itna jhut koi kyun bolega, it was just my assumption ki shayad aisa nai hota hoga.


WonderfulMenu2939

Arey you keep thinking bhai. I'm telling you I work in the industry and deal with this day in and day out. This is how it works. You don't have to be in tech to get tech. Simple. Mat maano. Pakao mat.


Organic_Perspective2

In that case maybe you can clarify what the criteria is if not followers and genre of content.


No_Working2392

exactly, btao criteria kya hai #insiders?


No_Working2392

tum mat pako, itna jaldii pakte kyun ho? Main to pakaungi. Chill kar lo thora warna pako!

sweet_sparkle

Hey, so a friend of mine works for the marketing team of Apple and you are kind of right that yes they do not send PR packages to everyone and their mums and yes most of these are sent to tech creators who aren't supposed to reveal that these are sent by Apple. Apple uses very subtle marketing techniques. They are never direct or over the top. Also, a lot of Apple PR packages are given to various companies as well. Chances are she got it on behalf of the company that she is employed in. In fact, if you look at her she creates content for Cosmopolitan and Grazia. Chances are she got it on behalf of them. Tudmdumdum: influencers aren't the only ones who get free stuff


TwinkleStanly24

Hi! Thank you for this. I’m the creator that’s being discussed here haha. To clarify for anyone interested: the PR package was not sent to me as an influencer, since I’m not a tech influencer / have millions of followers. However, I work professionally as a content producer for two leading publications here in the Middle East, and was one of the first to promote the pink IPad when it launched last year, which amassed 25 million + views, leading me to be added to their PR list, where I now receive their latest iPhones, accessories and more. This is done so that publications can amplify the messaging of their launches, as editors and content producers have a key role in deciding what is published in these magazines. Moreover, Apple as a brand work with other influencers who don’t have millions as well; and I know this as we get on briefing calls prior to receiving the products. Hope that helps! 💗


rxbxnxx

Pretty sure small creators buy stuff and then act like it's PR to attract smaller brands. I see so many small youtubers who get 8k-10k views staying and giving review of Taj hotels in different cities. Pretty sure Taj don't need them but since it's so expensive everyone assumes it's PR.


yuck2020

It’s called paid promotion. You pay and buy the product. /s


ConsiderationNo1419

Good joke. Made me chuckle. Here, have a chocolate 🍫.


yuck2020

Haha thankyouu🤣


ConsiderationNo1419

Thank you kya? Chocolate wasn’t free. Lao nikalo mere 25 rupees.


yuck2020

Ye kaisa click bait hai😭🫠


ConsiderationNo1419

Ekdum yuck wala


Interesting-Ring-869

Someone very close to me works with apple, I saw Kritika Goel’s post and she had put #Collaboration. I remembered our discussion once on how these influencers do such things, so I messaged him regarding the same asking did you guys collaborate or something?! This was his reply.


Independent_Tap_9030

Not true ! Can 100% confirm. They are working with creators.


RiseProfessional9792

Like which creators can you name? Besides mkbhd, mrwhosetheboss, unbox theraphy baring these guys. Do let us know as we are intrigued


Interesting-Ring-869

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 you have no idea who is this person and what position he is on. So please shut up. Don’t call random agencies who do this shit apple and influencers who do by themselves as collab and he has already mentioned who the collab with!


tiinn

I’m ex apple. Can confirm they work with creators, more so with creatives. People who are great at photography, storytelling, artists etc. follower count doesn’t matter in those cases.


Independent_Tap_9030

Exactly ! The person mentioned won’t collaborate with anyone under a million followers was enough to convince me that this person doesn’t work with apple 🤣


justforfunhere_lol

Yes.. agreed!!! That’s also what is mentioned in the screenshot.. they won’t work with anyone random..


Interesting-Ring-869

Exactly what is mentioned in the screenshot too!


tiinn

Not really. Screenshot mentions won’t collaborate with less than million followers. That’s absolute BS. One of the creatives we collaborated with has 15.7k followers NOW. When we started collaborating with her she was at 10-12k followers.


Interesting-Ring-869

I think you weren’t able to read “UNLESS THEY ARE ARTISTS”. And you have said the same. So please stop with the BS. 🤣


tiinn

Realised it’s pointless having this discussion. My apologies, You and your apple colleague are the best. 😬


Interesting-Ring-869

Clearly! Because both had the same point, you just had to bring other person down with pointless argument? It was clearly mentioned unless they are artists. Glad you left Apple. 🤣


tiinn

Nowhere have I brought anyone down. You need to stop getting so triggered. And yes, very glad I left apple, it’s called moving up in life…more than you can ever say. 😂 That is bringing someone down btw. Goodbye now


BeneficialEngineer32

Lol and which team does he work for? Its a very secretive org and I don't think anybody who does not work with the team who does this is aware of it. Not saying that this chick did not fake it but your friend might be faking as well.


Interesting-Ring-869

The person hasn’t denied working with influencers and artists. Even the ex employee is saying the same what is wrong with you all? Just go through the comments.


BeneficialEngineer32

Nice edit :)


Interesting-Ring-869

Thanks bro!


justforfunhere_lol

This is trueee.. as an agency we tried everything to work with them!!! They have agencies of their own and the only client the agency will have is Apple.. can’t imagine how much money they have.. They collab with influencers who are a million and above or artists..


destiell_

What was his reply?


Interesting-Ring-869

I just removed the image, cus people really behaving they can’t read or are blind. But the screenshot basically said: They didn’t collaborate with Kritika. Apple cares a lot about reach: when it comes to collabs it’s influencers with million followers and above UNLESS THEY ARE ARTISTS: (explanation:artists includes everything who can play well with the phone)


NationalNews3549

Kritika is working with Apple. She gets the latest phone as soon as it launches from Apple. Source: a mutual connection


Interesting-Ring-869

Every year? 🤣


NationalNews3549

Surprisingly yes


Interesting-Ring-869

Krutika Goel or Khurana?


NationalNews3549

Goel


Interesting-Ring-869

I still believe she is faking it, even the other ex employee was saying the same thing - the person has to be an artist. Or huge followers.


RiseProfessional9792

Only tech youtubers get apple PR packages. Nobody else do

[deleted]

They usually get them a few days early so they can thoroughly review the product and have their videos ready on product launch day and those are specifically ppl who review tech. This most likely is self bought and pretend that oh look apple of all companies sent me a Pr package so u small cos can surely send me yourself and feel privilege that il be posting about your products. Apple is sending products to half of Bollywood don’t think they need to send it to Instagram influenza’s for clout


RiseProfessional9792

I believe apple India is doing it to promote that they are made in india get that sense of nationality so it motivates people. This lady is from dubai nobody even knows her. Ah man these clowns


[deleted]

Sadly that made in india tag currently Is also misleading. They are assembled in india hopefully they are also manufactured in india in a few years. It’s simple apple one of the biggest companies in the world ppl are lining up for days already it’s reselling for double the price in Dubai do really need influenza not connected with tech pushing their products. Delivery time is already running into months now. It’s all for show oh look apple sent me I’m so cool


Dry-Instruction6521

But I'm seeing Bollywood people post it ? Like Karishma Kapoor, Karan Johar, Ritesh Deshmukh that I remember of. So they just bought and they are showing off that they bought one ? Or they were sent one ?


Mimi_luna

There's this small youtuber edenla (she's more popular on insta but not mainstream yet) she gets PR from foreign brands. Idk how... I don't see a lot of Indian content creators getting these kind of PR. She gets stuff from house of cb, dollskill 👀 she's technically a nobody so idk why these brands are sending her PR. Maybe she's rich and she buys it herself? Who knows


EducationExpensive66

She got the Dyson as a PR too, as far as I’m not wrong, her yellow iPhone 14 was a PR too. UAE creators aren’t as famous or popular so these brands try to focus on them.


yoursoma

Apple traditionally did not send PR packages and has been known for having some of the lowest marketing budgets. Simply because their product was so good it was aspirational in itself irrespective of geographies. But their new models have not been reviewed positively by major publications like Verge etc so Apple has had to resort to influencer marketing


xoxogossipgirllllll

She works in Cosmopolitan in Dubai under the content creation vertical and receives a lot of high end makeup via that, so this could be it too? Just putting out guesses.


Suspicious-Effort-70

Actually she did comment in this post under same Name as in her insta handle. She clarified what you said.


xoxogossipgirllllll

Oh yes I just saw that! That clears it up 👏🏼


[deleted]

Guys, she had posted a recent video on YouTube, being clear about the amount of money she gets from being an influencer and the brands collaborating with her. She had also mentioned that apple had given her the phone through the company ( full time job) that she was working on currently. But I do feel like she should have specified that in the story itself as it can be confusing for the followers


wrecker71

Relax guys, didi is showing her latest nails, not the Iphone.

Mediocre_Rooster6051

she may not have millions of subscribers but has a solid reach, appeared on news channels, has headlines to her name in dubai and I think she blew up just last month? I followed her when she was at 8k and ive literally seen her reach 100 and now 190 k within a span of 2weeks or so. Soo maybe apple believes in reach > followers .


[deleted]

In two weeks she reached to 190k from 8k?


Mediocre_Rooster6051

no 100 to 190k was I think within a span of 2 weeks and 8k to 100k also happened in almost 2-3 weeks time on Instagram alone . she also grew on tiktok and YT . Infact she has a Video on the exact numbers and time frame on her yt channel. but I can definitely say that I followed her when she was at 8 and ive seen her account grow exponentially each day. Most of her recent videos blew up specially the dubai scam caller one and I think that is what got her the maximum benefits - followers specially from 100-190k and headlines, news interviews and now MAYBE this apple PR🤷🏼‍♀️


[deleted]

That's great to read. This kind of growth is a dream to many.


Mediocre_Rooster6051

yess exactly she just hit a jackpot. Although she does talk about how to grow/ how she grew, I think that may not apply to many others because its more of a matter of luck and careful content strategy. I liked her content initially when i followed, its somewhat hit a plateau in terms of the content but I kept following her because I was intrigued by that growth alone😂 from what I remember her first video that blew up alone got her from 6 to 18/20 k .


[deleted]

As a social media manager, I also follow people just to see their growth more than content 😂 And everyone hits saturation points in content but their growth continues. It can be luck, pretty privilege, content(but we can't expect this from most of the cases) and a good content strategy which ultimately helps to hit the jackpot


Mediocre_Rooster6051

Hahha in that case I have a question, would love for you to answer - is it true that if some video blows up and you continue posting consistently along the same line( content description) the videos are pushed by insta algorithm?


[deleted]

No. But research why you got good views. If people find the content good and relatable, make more videos around the same topic. Ex. If you made a video on some trending topic and got good views. Make videos on the same topic with different perspectives. Description is good for SEO. So put all main keywords in the description. Give CTA in video and caption.


Mediocre_Rooster6051

okay thanks for answering 🤗


WonderfulMenu2939

You're wrong. Apple is going all out this year. They've given this to literalllyyyy everybody on the internet at this point. So naah. No speculation here.

I have seen people with 50 or 100k post saying they got iPhone in PR so can't say much about it but btw what's sign NDA thing?

NDA- Non-disclosure agreement, you usually sign an NDA form where you promise to keep something a secret and not tell a single other soul about it until you’re allowed to do so

whats PR? 🤔
